CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF MACROMYCETES IN ”ŚWIDWIE” NATURE RESERVE (NW POLAND)

Abstract

Mycological studies were conducted in ”Świdwie” nature reserve located on the southern edge of Wkrzańska Forest and about 23 km from the center of Szczecin, by means of the route method, from May to September 2018. In total, 117 macromycete species were recorded: 15 Ascomycota and 102 Basidiomycota. Five of those species are included in the Polish red list of macrofungi (Wojewoda, Ławrynowicz 2006), compiled according to their endangerment categories. One species: Mycena belliarum belongs to category E (endangered); four species: Inonotus obliquus, Fistulina hepatica, Polyporus tuberaster and Porodaedalea pini are R (rare). Two of the endangered species are under partial protection, namely Fistulina hepatica and Inonotus obliquus. The considerable diversity of the fungi in the reserve, as well as the share of the endangered and protected taxa, indicate the reserve’s high nature value, not only in terms of the fauna.
